Slave ads & notices in this antebellum Louisiana newspaper...



Item # 701057

September 13, 1850

THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Sept. 13, 1850  Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
The front page has an illustrated ad: "$20 Reward" for a runaway mulatto boy. Inside are ads for: "Negro Clothing" another reward ad for a runaway, and an ad headed: "One Negro Man" among other items being auctioned, noting of him: "A certain negro man, slave for life, named William, aged about 18 years...".
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the spine, nice condition.

Item from our most recent catalog - #361, released for December, 2025
